A little bit of "please"!...

It is urgent that we put the focus on this!... Movement is life and life is movement, it's that simple. So what happens if one stops moving?” …

Well, it's literally like being lifeless, because a sedentary lifestyle shortens life almost as much as smoking, drinking alcohol, among other things.

In fact, “physical activity is the best natural antidepressant to cope with stress and promote an improvement in mood, rest, appetite and energy”, it is like natural medicine, if we are on the move.

And it's not a metaphor, this is what I'm writing about. When running, exercising, swimming, cycling, walking, our endocrine system becomes a natural pharmacy because we secrete endorphins that calm the pain and dopamine that reinforces our motivation and reward system.

At least, running has taught me to manage frustration and to understand that, as well as on the climbs of the route, obstacles in life are transient if we keep up the pace. I would say that in addition to health problems, the most important seconds that affect us as human beings are those of communication. Everything that comes from not wanting to listen, read or speak effectively has ruined life for many of us... Movement is life.

We live in a constant sacrifice, to achieve things, to support those we love, to fulfill our responsibilities.. But how often do we do it for ourselves?

Today while I was training, I thought about this, I'm going to the gym, my catharsis space, because it's not about how I move my body, but about choosing how I "spend" my life. Every morning when I get up to do exercises I do it to break the inertia, in that moment of silence, having that quiet coffee, I do it consciously because esome can keep on his feet.

Time and health go hand in hand, nature with its magic is the best company to reflect and a moving body generates production, well-being, balance and mental health. Not a child of my chronological age to move, on the contrary I celebrate it, I'm approaching the 70s.

I am happy with my evolution, with my changes due to age, with my maturity, with my wisdom and learning, the truth is if taking back means erasing what I have learned, because I prefer to be where I am and ready for the physical decline that comes, lol but I still train daily. My path has been full of challenges, with many opportunities to give up, but I have never given up, I am the owner of a long breath. Growing old training and moving is the record that I am here, present and transforming my life purpose.
